I was wondering whether an approval or other type of moderation mechanism is specified for PubSub.
There is the "authorize" access model, isn't that what you are looking for? https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0060.html#accessmodels
That seems to authorize subscription requests. Schimon asks about authorizing items, right?
Martin. Yes. You are correct.
I'ld surprised, if such a mechanism does not exist. It's necessary for any public comment system.
Cheers
The description says "only subscribers may retrieve items from the node."
Best, Goffi
Note that I'm talking about accessing items here. If you want to moderate the publishing, you'll do that with affiliations ( https://xmpp.org/extensions/ xep-0060.html#affiliations ).
If it's a different use case, please describe it precisely.
I wanted a write-only node, but Tedd has kinddly offered this solution. On Fri, 30 May 2025 16:13:41 +0000 Tedd Sterr <teddsterr@outlook.com> wrote:
Yes, an account as a service could be a solution, if that is what you mean.
No, just a standard chat account where an 'admin' can receive posts in order to moderate them. Not everything needs to be provided by pubsub just because you're using pubsub for publishing.
You will need to tie everything together with an interface to present it to users in a coherent way, but you will need to do that regardless of the underlying mechanisms used; the point is that you can build this right now, without waiting for some future dream features.
So, thanks to Tedd, I intend to send all messages to the administrator, and upon approval, the system would publish a comment which be attributed to the sender. Kind regards, Schimon
